BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) -

Football fans from Baton Rouge to Birmingham are getting ready for the Alabama vs. LSU game this weekend, and some are taking a creative approach to displaying their team pride.

A barber shop in Baton Rouge is offering specialized haircuts for Alabama and LSU fans. At Richard Payne's salon Smashing the City, guys can get the Alabama or LSU logos shaved or painted onto the back of their heads.

Payne says the requests for the team-themed haircuts are becoming more popular as the big game approaches.

The Crimson Tide has beat the Tigers three out of the last five games, but the road team has also won three out of the past five games. The rivalry is expected to be one of the best SEC games this season.

The Alabama-LSU game kicks off at 7 p.m. in Tuscaloosa on Saturday. The game will be carried by CBS.
